\title{Parse GEO text}
\description{
  Workhorse GEO parsers.
}
\usage{
parseGEO(con, GSElimits)
parseGPL(con)
parseGDS(con)
parseGSE(con, GSElimits)
parseGSM(con)
}
\arguments{
  \item{con}{A connection that contains the body of a GEO SOFT format file}
  \item{GSElimits}{Used to limit the number of GSMs parsed into the GSE
    object; useful for memory management for large GSEs.}
}
\details{
  These are probably not useful to the end-user.  Use getGEO to access
  these functions.  parseGEO simply delegates to the appropriate specific parser.  There
  should be no reason to use the parseGPL, parseGDS, parseGSE, or
  parseGSM functions directly.
}
\value{
  parseGEO returns an object of the associated type.  For example, if it
  is passed the text from a GDS entry, a GDS object is returned.
